The last pisses me off most. It's plausible Anderson just couldn't take being a politician, and the baby reaper was probably one of the only things that could've survived the destruction of the base. The Rachni Queen however, that was specifically THE last and the Reapers pull another out of their asshole anyway. What in the fuck?

I only remember one on Tuchanka in ME2. I'm gonna need a refresher on the other ones.
EDIT: I forgot about Okeer as well.

Okeer (or whatever his name is) managed to make Grunt, so Krogan scientists must be pretty good. Arachni are intelligent as long as they have a good queen who sings the right songs to them or something like that. lol In my play through I'm sure Shep was told that the arachni were actually helping with the building of the crucible which is not what I wanted from them. I wanted to be able to unleash them on the reapers at the last minute to turn the tied of battle.

Well they sing to each other I guess?Ain't any weirder than jellyfishes communicating with light.
Maybe the buzz aldrin "my sweet" scene was on the same planet the normandy crashed? and joker and edi are the new adam and eve.
They explain in the codex that Anderson didn't like politics so he called it quit. Your choice still meant nothing though.
I'd be more curious about how a hive-mind intelligence can have specific 'scientist drones' - wouldn't any rachni be capable of higher-level thinking, so long as they're part of the hive, linked to their queen?
Even if it is free? Which I doubt it would be but why? I get it, you liked the ending but what about all the people that didn't! Not that I expect them to actually listen to the majority of their fans, they're just gonna wait until people forget about it and go about their business, lucky for you.

Certainly possible. Or just one in normal FTL travel distance. But the scene certainly doesn't specifically suggest people can't travel thru space anymore. If anything, it suggests they can.

Oh, I knew that, what I meant with that was I could easily see him doing that rather than bein gpure asspull. But yeah, they clearly had ambitions far greater than they could reasonably achieve (or they didn't want to alienate newcomers, but they seriously should've just made something like the comic for 2, and if people didn't want to deal with that they got a pure Paragon/Renegade slate and work from that.)
There's probably enough crew members on the Normandy that it was only a symbolic Adam and Eve, or at most an Adam and Eve for more robotic cyborgs. More likely there were enough crew to have SOME genetic variety.
I tried my best to avoid this situation
I won't have robot furry on my ship!The Reapers still had Protheans husks(collectors) long after the Protheans were killed.They controlled the Rachni before, it's not that improbable.
So agreeee
Not really. The boy asks when will they be able to return to the stars and what to expect to see on other worlds. It implies it's no longer possible.

I hope somebody remembered to feed my space hamster.
That irritated me, I put the kibosh on that while we were in the club, and they still hooked up. Horrid.I tried my best to avoid this situation
They aren't on Earth though. I don't see any reason to believe they can no longer travel through space. Maybe not the distances they once could, but I can't see why their ships would no longer function. Especially considering that little coda is even on the endings when you control the reapers.
They probably ate it.
Thank goodness I spent 26k on auto fish feeder.
Guess they could've just kept a Rachni locked away somewhere, but it's still really weak. Ah well. I feel like, ending aside, it's VERY satisfying for a pure Paragon run and otherwise kinda bullshit for a pure Renegade one (and if you had enough ME2 casualties).
I'm still waiting for "Commander Shepard will always be a jerk."
Well yes they aren't on Earth. They could simply be members of a colony on a garden world that got stuck there after the chaos. Like the people on Eden Prime for instance. Agriculture is possible there so they can survive on their own.
:-/
What if I told you one Last idea for DLC to get back in? It involves captain Anderson in our time being a best selling author that contracts dementia and has his 7 year old niece finish the book at the part where you get hit by a reaper laser.
I think a Renegade run using the default Shepard (where Bioware took care to fuck everything up for you) would be fun. Just speed through everything.

"75 years" is assuming that they have a perfectly straight line of a course, with infinite fuel, at max speed, without ever stopping. The galaxy is filled with empty space between clusters. Inside a cluster, it's fine, because you have fueling stations at every relay and connections to civilization and probably some inhabitants. Now the infrastructure is screwed, you have no guarantees that your path is safe, and you have no idea where your next refill or resupply is coming.
Like I said earlier, it's like saying that a cross country trip post-apocalypse would be only a few days in a fast car or a small airplane.
Someone on a distant planet wouldn't be able to tell the story of Shepard, FTL travel also allows FTL communication, without it, he couldn't tell that kid how ME3 ended.

This would make the ending hilarious.
Third is the Krogan scientist curing the genophage on Virmire.

Communication operates on a buoy system separate from FTL travel, IIRC.
That, or you could say it was Liara's project.
lol just saw this from first page figured it deserved another bump
The 1 krogan that wasn't a pain in the ass to kill on insane in that game. Poor guy.

Because they truely fucked up..Played ME1 & ME2 multiple times..Spent I don't know how many hours...and You want me to forgive them if they do make & release the DLC for free? Hell no
That's actually a pretty cool idea. That'd be a good premise on which to build some sequel thing.
I don't see why not. If the DLC is good and free, sure, more entertainment, and I had a lot of fun from the backlash over this fiasco.
Okay, just finished it, and quite liking the ending ( I kind of expected Shepard not to survive all this or having to sacrifice himself to do it so well ... 
)
But what about the clip after the Normandy crashes, I just saw Joker / Tali / Garrus get out of the ship, is this supposed to be related to something like in ME2 and mean they are 'saved' ?
All this was a good game and all but man there is so much glitches and things about decisions you made that just don't make sense at times that it somehow left a bitter taste in my mouth.
The overall story was enjoyable in itself but it could have been awesome if not for those stupid things.
That feels like such a missed opportunity there.

Not really. He says the legend is old. It takes only one ship that escaped the fray and landed on that planet to pass the story on. It's a story that was passed on from generations to generations. Hence why the details might be wrong as he says. You also have to keep in mind that communications were still working just before the final attack so they had an idea of what already happened. You also find random fleets while scanning planets so it's still possible one was near that planet after the chaos. Moreover, communication were still probably working between worlds after the crucible fires, simply the long distances went down.
Also, as EmCee pointed out, Liara said she was placing beacons on a ton of worlds.

Umm. Isn't the planet with Buzz Aldrin the planet that the Normandy crashes on? To me the skybox is very similar, very close planet with a moon around it. The moon is just in a different place because of, you know, orbital rotation.
Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe it is a different planet that just happens to be really close to two similarly sized celestial bodies.
That doesn't mean Adam and Eve, though. It could just be that Gramps is telling the story to the kid because the planet is where the Normandy crashed.

Even the long distance stuff still works, you just don't get the instant real-time chatter without the mass relay buoys. It'd take years or even centuries but eventually the information will arrive. People on other systems even getting scrambled war-time feeds would be able to figure out what happened, piece by piece.
Laughing.so.fucking.hard. You need a job in the industry.
It would make some sense if there were no others crewmembers onboard. Joker and EDI could anticipate that destroying all reaper tech would kill EDI, therefore it appears logical that a lovestruck Joker would somehow try to save her. At least they seem happy and content with the way things worked out in the "synthesize"-ending.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
The Adam/Eve garden paradise new life etc allusions were pretty obvious in that final scene. Because, just like the entirety of that ending, it was tacky metaphysical thematic garbage crammed down our throat by Walters.
Thinking again.
If noone warned me about the ending I would have been PISSED.
but
Since people acted like it was the worst ending ever, I was pleasantly surprised it wasn't as bad of an ending as Dragon Age 2 (worst ending in probably any story based game that isn't Alan Wake or Heavy Rain)

I was getting that, then randomly you had a third crew member get out. Which just confused people more.
I had Tali step out in mine, I think. Clearly the snake / temptress.

Didn´t Major coats say to everyone to retreat after Harbinger laserbeamed everyone? Maybe thats why Joker left the battle ?
